I’m Gretchen Clasby and I’m blessed to have been a full-time professional artist since 1967.  A little over 2 years ago I painted my first Sunrise over the beautiful Smoky Mountains.  I believe that painting ushered in my “Light Period,” just in time for this Corvid 19 pandemic.

My goal is to remember light dispels darkness.   Step into this forest at dawn and see the glorious sunshine peeking through the branches, giving the gift of quiet serenity and peace.  Join me in believing our future will emerge into this glorious dawn as light dispels the darkness and brings in a new day of Joy.  ‘Walk as children of light for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth.” Eph. 5:8-9

I wish you this JOY!  Gretchen
